Prevalence of Culture-Confirmed Tuberculosis Among Patients with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Currently, the prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) strains isolated from mycobacterial cultures has been well characterized. However, the data on the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in patients with NTM disease remain unclear. Methods: Between January 2012 and August 2020, consecutive patients with positive mycobacterial cultures were included for analysis. The identification of Results: A total of 997 strains were isolated from 828 inpatients. Of them, 261 inpatients (31.5%) were diagnosed as NTM disease. The mean age of the 261 patients was 55.7 ±15.5 years old and 64.0% (n = 167) of them were male. The prevalence of culture-confirmed TB patients among patients with NTM disease was estimated as 8.0% (21/261). Conclusion: TB is common in NTM disease and caution should be taken when initiating the treatment of NTM disease.
